There were of course two outstanding bowling performances that played a huge role in the expedited outcome of the match.
Led by Mitchell Starc’s 6/12 in the first few hours, starting with his first burst that more or less sealed the Test.
That was followed by an equally impressive display of swing and length bowling from Shoriful Islam, playing his first Test on Australian soil and producing arguably the best bowling performance by a Bangladeshi ever on foreign soil.
It’s safe to say however that a breakdown of the 30 wickets to fall would reveal more batting errors than bowling excellence.
With Starc himself admitting that he and his fast-bowling colleagues had bowled a lot better in Darwin the previous week with obviously lesser impact.
